My family loves these. You don’t need to use the curried tartar–you can use regular, but the curried tartar is what sets this recipe apart. I ask you to give it a try before deciding against it!
Ingredients
Curried Tartar Sauce
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons relish
- 1 teaspoon spicy mustard
- ½ teaspoon hot sauce
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 1 teaspoon minced cilantro
Crab Cakes
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- 2 stalks celery, finely chopped
- ½ medium onion
- ½ small red bell pepper, chopped
- ½ small green bell pepper, chopped
- 2 cups fresh bread crumbs
- 1 ½ cups crabmeat
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ½ cup vegetable oil for frying, or as needed
Directions
Step 1
Mix mayonnaise, relish, mustard, hot sauce, garam masala, and cilantro for tartar sauce in a bowl until well blended. Cover and chill in the refrigerator until flavors have blended, about 1 hour.
Step 2
Melt butter in a frying pan. Add celery, onion, and bell peppers; saute until soft, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside to cool.
Step 3
Place bread crumbs and crabmeat in a large bowl. Add cooled vegetables, eggs, seafood seasoning, pepper, and cayenne; mix until well blended and moist. Form crab mixture into 1 1/2- to 2-inch balls.
Step 4
Heat oil in a frying pan over medium or medium-low heat. Add crab balls and flatten the tops with a spatula. Fry to a golden brown, about 5 minutes. Carefully flip and repeat to brown the other side. Drain on a wire rack.
Step 5
Serve with curried tartar sauce.
Cook’s Note:
For fresh bread crumbs, process bread or rolls in a food processor or blender until fine.
